Kandy angst.
Chapter 1
Kirsten walked down her driveway in a daze. The light from inside the house shone brightly behind her but it was pitch black in front. She took steady breaths as she tried to comprehend what she'd just been told. When she got to the bottom of the driveway she felt her feet sinking into the soil. The sprinklers had been on so the grass was soaking wet. She looked down and saw that she was barefoot. She didn't care. She fell to her knees allowing the mud to seep through her jeans. Her shoulders shook and tears streamed down her face. She desperately tried to wipe them away but they just kept coming. Gradually her sobbing subsided and she stood up. She wiped away the last of the tears and turned back to the house. She saw her husband sitting on the front step with his head in his hands. She didn't look at him as she passed him by.
She made her way through the house and up to her bedroom leaving a muddy trail of footprints behind her. She crawled across her bed and lay down not caring that the dirt from her sodden clothes was soaking into their $2000 sheets. She pulled her pillow close to her and closed her eyes trying to block out the images that raced through her mind.
Sandy watched his wife break down on the front lawn. He placed his head in his hands and let the tears fall. He was ashamed. He saw her hunched over in the darkness weeping in pain because of him. She seemed to be consumed in the shadows. He was the one causing the pain and he didn't think he could take it. He felt his wife brush past him and into the house. He turned and saw brown grubby footprints lead up to their bedroom. He followed them up the stairs and into the room where he found his wife curled in a ball on the bed. He stood in the doorway watching her lie there motionless for a minute before entering the room as quietly as he could. He couldn't stand back and gaze at her in so much anguish. He had to help her. Make it all better. He sat on the edge of the bed and reached for her.
Kirsten felt the mattress dip slightly to the right. She opened her eyes and saw him sitting there. His eyes were red and swollen and he looked worn out. He reached out to touch her but she moved away. She swung her legs off of the bed and marched into the bathroom. She slammed the door behind her and she flung herself onto the back of it. She crouched down onto her heels and covered her face with her hands. She shook violently and ended up a heap on the floor. Sandy knocked gently on the door.
He could hear her body sliding down the back of the door. He could hear her crying softly. He could hear her thud as she landed heavily on the floor. Everything suddenly went silent. He got up and knocked on the door.
No answer.
He knocked more loudly this time.
No answer.
He turned the handle and pushed the door open slightly. He found his wife lying in a ball on the floor. He bent down and stroked her hair. She shoved his hand away in disgust, "Don't touch me."
Anyone have any idea what happened? I'll update asap. But only if you let me know if you want more chapters.
